Ethically Sourced Products

Imagine that you wake up at 7am. Your bed is the floor underneath your desk. You have only had a few mouthfuls of food since your last shift. You are forced to work from 8am until 1am with no breaks and only little water, a 17 hour working day. You aren't allowed outside, nor are you allowed to make any phone calls to your family. You are 6 years old.

The above is a harsh reality for too many children around the world, being forced into child labour in disgusting conditions, many of whom are only 5, 6 and 7 years old.

Can you imagine your child being one of those? Neither can we, which is why The School Uniform Shop is proud to be a supporter and supplier of ethically produced school uniform. By purchasing our uniform you are helping to protect not only children but adults and vulnerable people from around the world.

As a worker living in the United Kingdom you are entitled to a minimum wage, regular breaks, a suitable and safe working environment and reasonable working hours.
